December 9, CMUChippewas.com "As we build this program on tough, hard-nosed defense, everyone is going to have a chance to contribute. It's fun to play the game when you have 14 guys who are capable of making an impact," Zeigler said. "We played a very good team tonight. I'm really proud of our intensity and our will to fight through some adversity and not give in. We didn't allow some missed free throws down the stretch to affect the other areas of our game, and we kept defending the basketball.

"I think a lot of growth has taken place since our last game at home. We found ourselves in a similar situation in that game against Illinois-Chicago. We had some adversity and didn't handle it very well. Today, guys really bought in and we found some success. "
